A Legacy of Tradition and Community
Established in 1937, South Downs Country Club began as an 11-hole course before expanding to a full 18 holes just two years later. Originally known as Virginia Park Golf Club, it was renamed South Downs Country Club in the 1950s — a name that has become synonymous with heritage, community, and golfing excellence in Johannesburg.
Today, we remain true to that legacy, blending tradition with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a deep love for the sport.
